Silencing Backup Buzzer on RXV

Barou

I have a 2010 RXV and would like to have the option of turning the backup beeper on or off. Can someone tell me where the buzzer is located and if wiring in a switch would cause any problems to the operation of the cart? Should I use any particular switch? Thanks.

I don't know much about the RXV but on the TXT, E-Z-GO's previous model, the buzzer was behind the dashboard. I think the RXV would be in the same place. I don't believe there would be a problem with the switch. A switch is a good idea because on the TXT an error code was sent through the buzzer if there was a problem. Look behind the dashboard for the buzzer, start near the key switch because that's were it is on the TXT. I don't know much about the RXV but it should be similar, as E-Z-GO don't change its models very much.

I squirted some silicone in mine and it is very quiet, not quiet enough for hunting though. I have not heard of any problems with people unplugging them but as mentioned, it does provide information with trouble codes.

I have a 2Five and also thought the buzzer was too loud. When I made a comment, the dealer's mechanic just took some electrical tape and covered the tiny speaker with a small piece. Perfect.

Thanks for the tips. I will try to reduce the volume using tape (or whatever) and see if that is good enough. If not, then i'll install a switch.

I would use tape. the RXV is very picky on accessories and tampering with factory items.

I think if you disconnect the buzzer the cart will not run.

I stuffed an ear plug into the hole on my buzzer... worked great!

In construction we take a piece of rubber (mudflap) and zip-tie it over the alarms. Don't tell OSHA.

Appreciate all the suggestion! FYI, the speaker on the RXV is located under the seat, on the passengers side, on the underside of a plastic covering for the electronics. You must remove the three plastic tabs (?), lift the cover and the speaker is accessible. A little electrical tape significantly reduced the volume.
